Telangana HC sets aside Speaker’s order, declares Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender stands disqualified from Legislative Assembly
The Telangana High Court overturned a decision by the state assembly speaker, ruling that Khairatabad legislator Danam Nagender is disqualified from the Legislative Assembly. The court found procedural irregularities in the speaker’s order that had previously removed Nagender’s membership. The judgment reinstates the disqualification, affecting the composition of the state’s ruling party and may trigger a by‑election.
